  • yes, i know about them. fiat is bringing some cars here as chryslers, alfa, well, arent sold here, and i would not buy a maserati because it could have been done better. ferrari admit that the gearboxes in maseratis are 3-4 generations behind those in a ferrari. thats fine, but in cars like the quattroporte, which ferrari is not directly competing with, why not make it as good as it can be? the lincoln mks ecoboost v6 is faster up a mountain road than the masser. make it as good as it can be!

  • @sandrodream are you admiting its the car, not the german driver that won all the f1 championships? meybe you didnt know, but schumacher is back with a 3 year contract with mercedes. there are not any mv or aprilla dealers ( : ( ) but ther are a few lambo and ferrari deallers. actually, i live near the largest lambo dealer in the world, Lamborghini of Orange County

  • @schumacher won more f1 championships than anyone with ferrari, now he is back and in a mercedes, see how that pans out. as for aprila and bimota, both beutiful to look at, but there are no dealerships in my area. by area i mean within 150 miles of me. they both make exelent bikes im sure, but they arent the best

  • uh...no.that doesnt really matter does it? i would not buy a ferrari made since th f40 because they are souless ugly machines built solely for the sake of getting around a track as fast as is technically possible. lamborghini has sold out to audi, god knows where they are going. as i said before, the y2k is the fastest and most expensive production bike in the wordl, guinness certified. as for f1, its almost as boring as nascar. a ducati with a engine swap aint really a production bike is it?

  • oh, ov course thre is a "real" history, averone that doesnt live in itally has a fake history, right? if i do believe, ameirican bell invented the telephone! i guess you also believe the airoplane was a italian invention, so was the car, and life itself? you are a very stupid italian. there are only five good things to have come from itally: Ferrari, Lamborghini, alfa romeo, although they are really crap, and.. i cant think of a fourth and fifth thing. and...

  • the y2k is the fastest production bike in the world, regardless of the engine type, it still runs on pump gas. and the fastest "normal" bike in the world is the kawasaki zxr 1400

  • ettore bugatti was an french emmigrant, whose company is now in the hands of the germans. the french and the germans are getting together again, and again the americans step in and say, "whoa, not so fast. were kind dog here" 2010 ssc ultimate aero ftw

  • plus, the veyron isnt italian, it is a french brand engineered by germans,made in france.

  • the fastest production car in the world is the ssc ultimate areo, with a guinness certified 257 average top speed. also, the fastest production bike in the world is also american, the y2k jet turbine motorcycle, and its so fast that its top speed is unreachable because nobody can hold on at that speed

  • oh how very wrong you are

  • not

  • you always dress up like a kid , don't ya!

  • This guy is so stupid. Jim Carey are more fummy !

  • whats up with the shirt

  • Only an american can compare ridiculous

    shitty Corvettes to a Lamborghini or , that's even funnier, to the one legend of car's history Ferrari ....!

    Ferrari cars are the top of car's advanced tech & luxury , they are and have always been the best cars of the world ; the corvettes are nothing but crappy pieces of steel , funky rubbish good only to some patriotic fans of US cars !

    That says a lot of how much ignorance there's among US people when it comes to cars & motors

  • 'cos no matter a corvette is lesser priced than a Lambo or a Ferrari, since every cent payed for a Ferrari is the best spent

    cent ever, while a cent for a piece of rubbish is a cent thrown away in the garbage ! That's the difference : only an ignorant can adfirm is a matter of money, 'cos it's exactly the opposite .

    It's a matter of tech ability & superior passionate engineering certain people have and other don't !

  • chrysler needs help from fiat ?

  • Yes, sure! Fiat builds at the moment the best cars, who have little consuption and with good performance for a good price. I got the new Fiat 500 and I`m very satisfied.

  • At the moment the fiat group car are among the best in the world in their categories. In this world deep crisis period. Fiat is the only car maker that is rising it production.

  • Wasn't the yugo on a fiat chassis???

  • well according to motortrend magazine, Mitsubishi is going to pull out of the united states and eventually discontinue production of vehicles all together

  • That was my BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUT !!!! YESSSSSSSSS

  • tour  lol

  • fa cifo

  • This guy really can't say anything correct what is from Europe.

    LOL

  • omg i cant even begin to explain how mad it makes me to see the fiat panda and alfa 147 will be sold as chryslers. i sure as hell hope that the 159 isn't sold as a chrysler.  i want one so bad, but i want an alfa, not a dodge!!! and yes, the badge would keep me from buying it. their customer service is horrible, and i want an italian car, not an american car. fucking chrysler... it wasn't enough that they ruin their own cars, but they have to ruin other people's cars now too?

    idiots!

  • exactly! this is just like when chrysler and mitsubishi joined to make diamond star motors. and how great did that work out... not too good being that they stopped production of both the eagle talon and the plymouth laser!!!

  • ugh... but the thing is that fiat originally announced that it would be sold in mini dealerships here... why can't they just do that? i want a fiat not a dodge like i said!

  • First of all, you DON'T want an Italian car!

    Italian cars are CRAP! Even those with stratospheric prices! The Corvette, Viper, NSX, and GT-R are 1000000000x better than Ferraris, Lambos, and anything else at that level! I could only imagine the poor quality of "regular" priced Italian cars

    This is WORSE than DSM! Mitsubishi isn't the greatest car, but Fiats are that much worse

    This is Fiat's only way into the US market

    The first Benz sold in the US was sold as a Studebaker!

  • you've got to be the biggest idiot in the world lmfao. the only thing you said in that sentence that was true was that mercs were studebakers. italian cars are not crap, you just have to know how to use them. they're engineered differently than any other car, so if you use them like any other car, they will prove unreliable. the viper is shit. the nsx and corvette are fantastic... but not better than a ferrari or a lambo, get some knowledge.

  • coolerdude44, how exactly is the corvette not better than the 6 figure exotics you speak of? Its only a fration of the price. And it will out perform them. So cost is better, performance is better, looks are on par, what else could you want? Lambo and Ferrari are nothing but names anymore. Badges people pay big money for.

  • i never said the corvette was bad. but it's not comparable to a ferrari or a lamborghini. the corvette is a raw-power type of car, while the ferrari and lamborghinis are made with percision to handle as best as possible. a ferrari has a 4.3 liter v8 while the corvette has a 6.2L v8 while the ferrari has more power and revs higher. don't bring handling into it either.

    for the money the corvette can't be beat, but it cannot beat a ferrari. the z06 and zr1 are different stories, but still raw

  • Admittedly all the cars you mentioned are easier to live with every day. But I don't see vettes, nsx's, and vipers winning world famous races. Actually if the NSX's was so good why the hell did they only sell like 30 of them the last year of production?

    If you have any sense for cars whatsoever you'll see this as a good thing. If you want a cheap and reliable car go buy a Hyundai. Why do people prefer Rolex over Casio. Sure the Casio is just as good and accurate, but that's not the point.

  • ok, point taken, but...

    The NSX's last year of production was its 15th

    GT-R has racing heritage

    I do understand the point about Rolex/Casio. But consider that many of their customers just want the name and only care about the numbers (0-60, top speed, etc) even if they're almost never driven. See the OP "I want an Alfa, not a Dodge...the badge would keep me from buying it"

    This is Fiat's easiest (if not only) way to get to US! So, do you want the car, or do you just want the name?

  • Its no about the car or the name man, its just I want something different. I so tired of seeing the same old ugly cars, jap econoboxes, and boring SUVs on the road. And after switching from a camry to a bmw 328 I'd rather not go back. Yes the toyota was more reliable and cheaper to maintain, but the bmw is everything else except for those 2 things.

    I agree with you though, people take badges for granted. But come on, do you want an exciting Alfa or a boring dodge. I know what I'll have.

  • car/name thing was directed at coolerdude44

    sorry for confusion

    It will be just as fun and exciting (if they do keep it as-is except for the name). AS long as the engine, transmissions, chassis, etc. are still Fiat, it will still be as exciting. You shouldn't be tired of it because it will look EXACTLY like the Fiat Panda (or whatever--Dodge Panda-it might even keep the name!)

    Car and Driver holds Honda in as high regards as BMW! But I do agree Toyota is boring-I've owned a couple too!

  • yeah their concepts cars r rly weird. my opinion is to leave the super cars to Europeans and leave the muscle cars to us Americans

  • Loved this video! I like the way it was well put together. It wasn't just slob put on the site. Good Job! Good video! =D

  • Mmmmm steak

  • Please make the Caliber less Plastic and a bit more upmarket. Especially for the price!!! It's a cool looking car

    Tamagotchi hahaha I had one of those like 7 years ago, awesome!!

    ROFLLLL Hahahaha Turrrr... TOURER DOUBLE D, TOURER!!! hahaha legend

  • I was watching the 24 and that was the most incredible race I've seen in years. Four cars on the same lap going at for a win after 24 hours, now that is great racing. Well desevered win for Brumos Racing. As for the Chrysler-Fiat merger, could this affect the Alfa 8C at all?

  • your fucking stupid saskLS1

  • What is my fucking stupid??? You're fucking stupid, dumb ass!

  • oh god not the fiat PANDA

    what a piece of crap

    oh and DD nice shirt

    my g/f likes it

  • and it's gonna be sold as a DODGE!

    They should've just stuck to Mitsubishi--Mitsus aren't the greatest cars ever, but Fiats are garbage

  • i saw a fiat this morning..first time ive seen one in america

  • That Mitsubishi is sickening. We already have an eco-friendly tumor on the road, and it's called the Prius. Like we need another bulbous eyesore on the road.

  • you know what, no matter how wrong it may sound. I would say "tourer" the same way Derek D. would've said it

  • haha, thanks man

  • r u serious, those spy shots of the Cayman are older than an old great grandma, theyre like so last year, besides, thos aren't evn of the new Cayman, so until Porsche speaks, your 100% dead wrong.

  • That's why it's called the rumor mill dipshit.

  • i wont be happy with the fiat/chrysler deal if they dont bring the alfa brera the the US.

  • Al, seriously....do something with that hair and wardrobe! You look miserable, and broke. Who styles Derek D??...HELP AL PLZ.

  • hey al, get a hair cut

    just think of the footage you could get !

    you could have a 10 minute segment on al's new look.

  • GOD DAMMIT

    Another stupid-ass lame crossover

    WHY NOT JUST GIVE US THE ACCORD WAGON AS-IS?????

  • heyyyy.....hayyy there everybodyyy its FLD... i lovee this showw hahah

  • the new Mitsubishi electric car looks like the smart car just more exterior parts on it

  • Why does is Rosy from the Jetsons on crack and on Derek D's t-shirt???

  • i think FLD listened to me when i requested not to pud their videos in HD coz not all of us have the latest dual or quadcore processors and also, not all of us have the latest videocards coz it really lags in HD mode... :( normal or high quality is enough :D

  • do you have any idea what your talking about ?

  • you know all these sweet futuristic concept cars come out, and they're always ahead of their time. I wonder when the industry will catch up.

  • Is it just me or does DD make little hops as he is speaking. He does a little lean forward then does a slight hop. Not a big deal or anything, just wanted to see if anyone else caught this habit.

  • us folks in the industry all have our little quirks man

  • FLD best car show ever!

  • that blue Cayman is breathtaking. and not in a good way. it really is taking my breath away with the horribleness. that's a color you would paint a Geo Tracker mini SUV thing. you know, the ones you see falling apart with some eccentric hippie inside.

  • that was a really good comment for youtube, what are you doing?

  • is this the Ben Coleman from North Carolina? i doubt it. but i do know a Ben Coleman.

  • give me back my sho now bitchs

  • another Honda SUV would be like painting a decrepit barn without a roof...

    during a financial crisis, youd think they would be cutting production, not making more shitty SUVs...

  • i think its ginna be like a car/suv cause they did say wagon

  • its definately important that companies like mitsubishi are getting their electric ideas out there because obama is already cracking down on emmisions and gas mileage requirements

  • 2009th veiw!

  • the 128i is ahead of the GXP by 1 vote..... 1 VOTE!!!

    people.... vote GXP!!!!!! dont make him become a d-bag beemer fan boiiii.

    and who responds to these comments? is it derek or someone from FLD saying they are derek?

  • well FLD staff and myself comment on the comments...but this is my user name, and when i say my i mean Derek D.

  • dude.... your awsome.

  • you guys do a very good job. responding to the comments has kept me coming back. you and your team really know how to build a fan base. it will only expand with your more interactive nature (ie, the poll and responses to these comments). idk how your company works, but try to become part owner if you can. i only see good things in the future for your style of news. keep up the good work guys!

  • noooo. he should join the BMW club!!! he will never go back to anything else! (that's what happened to me! and all BMW fans aren't douches. just the ones that don't know what they're talking about and just think "hey. i'm cool. i drive a Bimmer so i look like i know how to drive" (and btw, it's Bimmer. Beemer and Beamer are for BMW motorcycles.)

  • Yeah, some "ultimate driving machine"!

    Driving enthusiast are so savvy they don't know how to check their oil! (BMW's do not come with an oil dipstick!), and iDrive? COME ON! It took them 10+ years to get it right (next-gen 7-series), and Chris Bangle as well.

    And yeah, also their D-Bag owners image

  • that's what i was saying. SOME BMW people (please don't call them enthusiasts unless they know what they're talking about) don't know crap and they embarrass me. and btw, BMW's do come with oil dipsticks (at least my mom's 2007 530xi sports wagon does). and i don't like iDrive. it doesn't at to the car. that's not why i like them. i like the way they drive (fyi i drive an 1998 E36 M3. i know about the car, i can change the oil, and it doesn't have iDrive.

  • its the newer models that dont have dipsticks. like the 335i and 335d. it's all electric there.

    but your right the current 5 series still have them but i dont think the next gen will.

  • oh. i didn't know that. i guess i learn something new every day! :) i'd rather have a real dip stick, but i don't think it's that big of a deal.

  • actually it IS a big deal, not only because you can't check it yourself, but also, there are lots of problems with the electronic meter

    The ADD OIL light came on randomly, so people were adding oil when they shouldn't have, even destroying engines in some cases

  • really? i haven't heard too much about that. i was assuming it worked, but i guess not. i'm surprised it doesn't, cause there have been low oil alerts and low coolant alerts on cars for years that haven't malfunctioned, at least in my experience.

  • the guy i bought my car from bought a 335i and loves it. i just meant that a lot of the 1 series owners are buying them for the name (imo, idk if its true....). and beemer bimmer whatever. its slang.... but i do agree with your comment that once you get a bmw, you dont go back. thats why ill just stick with my cheaper acura. lol

  • haha. Acura's are a good way to go. i just wanted to say that not all BMW owners are d-bags. only the ones that don't know what they're talking about and can't drive.

  • Happy birthday ben colemen!!!!

  • where is carry? ;(

  • SWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!

  • happy b-day ben colemen

  • I actually liked the current Avenger (though not like the Avenger of the late 1990s). The new Cayman Club Sport thing looks very nice. Never hated the car. As for the 24 Hours of Daytona, I wished I got to see more of that race than I wanted to. Another great episode. Extend my birthday wishes to the 16-year old fellow.

  • why would Fiat want to merge with Chrysler, in my opinion, it's the first one to go bust of the "Big 3"

  • so that they can get back into the US market, BY FAR the largest car market in the world

    Fiat will also be releasing some of their cars as Dodges (captive imports like they used to do with Mitsubishi)

  • Sorry wfangnxd117 ,but if you're so horny that you watch FLD only because of the chicks, then you should be visiting some porn sites not youtube. FLD is about cars not the girls so shut up.

  • TURRRRRRR

  • lately I've been looking for whoever's hosting, then if I see DD i move to another vid...where all the ladies been?

  • oh, stop it

    Derek D is GANGSTA!

    He got STAYLE!

  • Fiat's are small and Alfa's electronics comes from the 1900-century. But then again, American cars does not hold a high standard.

  • Your information comes from 19th century too.

  • tuuuuuuurrrrrd

  • Happy Birthday Ben!

  • How do we know if Fiat will help Chrysler? Chrysler will probably screw up Fiat!

  • Chrysler screwed Mercedes the company that used to build the most reliable cars ever.

    Fiat's quality used to be pretty bad but it has been improved a lot over the past years. Now they offer 5 year/300,000 mile warranty and that says something.

    But since Chrysler had no problems ruining Mercedes, they'll probably knock Fiat off the cliff easily.

    I hope they both don't go bust.

  • What I'm most worried about is Fiat getting screwed. They're one of the richest car manufacturers in the world and partial owner of Ferrari. Chrysler merging with Fiat requires Chysler getting some of the money...therefore Fiat won't be on it's usually level of economic stability and then go bust...that's my theory :D

  • well, no

    Fiat would still release their own cars, and some of them would be captive-imports with a Chrysler badge

    This has been done many times before

    Dodge Challenger (Mitsubishi Galant)

    Plymouth Laser (Mitsubishi Eclipse)

    Plymouth Colt/Vista (Mitsubishi Expo)

    Only this time, Fiat is worse

    Chrysler's quality is actually BETTER than both Ferrari AND Maserati

    The only GOOD thing about the TC is that it WASN'T actually a Maserati!

  • Did you drive a new Fiat lately??? They are truly great.

  • Bit too much plastic, but that Abarth 500 is pretty sweet!

  • Chrysler's quality was better than Fiat's about 6 -7 years ago.

    "Fiat would still release their own cars"

    And so did the Mercedes, but look what happened to them.

  • Fiat has actually been hit by the financial crisis just as badly as Chrysler. Sales down by 70%.

  • HONDA ACCORD ESTATE ! Tourer is American !

  • In Belgium it's Tourer. Europe =/= UK

  • Why do we need to make American cars look like they came from Japan. What happened to the good ol' days!!!

    DOUBLE D IN THE PANTS!!!!!

  • LOL Today is my birthday to! Im 19

  • and do ou think we give a shit

  • daytona wtf? whoooot? :LOL

  • cool, now i want a birthday shout out, my birthday is in december.

    just kidding, it's november...

  • Turrrrrrr!

  • Is FLD retarded??? The Cayman pictures were spyshots os the new Cayman S Sport! So where did they get those pictures from, if they were planning on a new trak Porsche it would of been spyshots of the new Cayman facelift, not the old one.

  • the Fiat-Chrysler alliance better not be like the American Motors-Renault Alliance (both the car and the alliance)

    ugh... my city still hasn't gotten the smell of French out of the air

  • wut?

  • Or how about the TC by Maserati

    It was for sure an overpriced POS, but at least it wasn't REALLY a Maserati--it would've been that much worse!

  • hi dr neck

  • Derek D. get a Volkswagen GLI sedan

  • the TDI sportwagon is beter

  • Always Fresh Everyday.. Subway.

  • oh who cares about those alfa's give us a 8C competitzione and get rid of the Viper. I mean if you could have a 8C r Viper who in their right mind would get the Viper. Flame on!

  • well said..!

  • that honda wagon looks good but i still rather have an outback.

  • i cant tell if chrysler is cancerous or if it can actually do something with the Fiat group... but im for Fiat in the states

  • please man stop showing ur belt its in every video im sick of it

  • wow, thats something I'd never see. Someone (mitsubishi) decided to make a brand new Dymaxion!

  • Derek did you take some pills before the show ?

    because you looking like you did .

    wtf is this heppy Agenda , you need to be serious in this show .

    you are not alex that can astound us all whit her smile (and body)/

  • are you talking?

  • are you talking smack on your own show DD?

  • dude wtf im sry but wat happened 2 the toyota venza huh i guess u guys forgot

  • that porsche is gonna be nice but i think the volvo xc70 will finally have some stiff competition

  • yeahhhhh

  • Whats happening with the world? Fiat? USA autos??? downhill, Obama. help.

  • Oh, come on!

    We've had captive imports for YEARS!

    Dodge Challenger--Mitsubishi Galant

    Geo Storm- Isuzu Impulse

    Geo Metro- Suzuki Swift

    Chevrolet LUV-Isuzu PUP

    Mercury Tracer-Mazda 323

    Chevrolet Aveo-Daewoo Kalos

  • Ya thats to name a few but the thing is Fiat is shittier than Mitsubishi or Kia WTF is Chyrsler thinking they could have used Nissans far better

  • why is it not in hq

  • YEAH WTF !!!

    it never is.. i think :(

  • Alfa 8C. 'nuff said.

  • Whats with the bad quality FLD? I believe you did one episode in HD, why not all?

  • i believe all of the episodes on the website are in HQ and it takes a while to get them in HQ on youtube but they go ahead and post them so that we subscribers may watch them immediately.

  • Double D in the PANTS!!!!!!!!

  • static falconar in the pants!

  • 5:29

    Nah, I think y'all hit the nail right on the head. Honda Turd.

    Who cares if they're coming out with a new station wagon? This is Fast Lane Daily, not The Soccer Mom Minute.

  • wagons are nice bro. dont be stupid.

  • mmm..... wagons are only nice on Audi and Volvos

    if you get a BMW, Mercedes or some other luxury car then wagons just look weird. not bad but weird

  • what about subaru??

  • If I could afford it, I'd get the Mercedes E63 Wagon--yes, it is sold in the US!!!

    Too bad you can't get the M5 wagon over here (they do make it but for Europe only) they should really make M3 and 335d wagons as well

    And of course, we can't forget the Volvo 850 Turbo wagons from the 90s

  • you really like wagons dont you?

  • oh yeah man!

    wagons are great!

    the performance and/or fuel economy of a car

    with the space of a Sub Urban Vehicle or crossover

    sometimes even more space

    many even have seating for seven, including the E63 AMG

  • Don't get me wrong, the Dodge Magnum and the old Chevy Nomad are great, but I could care less about this new Honda.

    It's not particularly attractive, and it doesn't have any power. That's not to say that I don't like other Hondas (I love the Integra and NSX), just not the wagons.

  • How about the Subaru Impreza WRX and STI Wagons?

    In Japan they also have an EVO Wagon! I wish they sold THAT over here!

  • That Cayman almost matched his shirt

  • FLD, i just finished watching Friday's episode and it had over 14,000 or something views, it also had the C.O.W. portion, which i very much enjoy. With that many views and comments, why not have favorite comments for the previous days everyday?

  • because the Commenter of the Week (CoW) segment is only on fridays...that's just how we roll

  • your username and comment seem to be contradictory.

  • Double fail.

  • no your not
